Correction, 3/2015 hire now. Congrats to @juxtapilot on the upgrade!

Isn't that crazy?

It is...

I'm a 2/5 hire and just got the upgrade for LAX, but could've held SEA. I had a few people below me hold Seattle CA.

Congrats! Glad to see you finally make it to the left seat.

I'm surprised you wouldn't want SEA. Seems to me it would be a better commute. Way too many people doing SMF-LAX these days.

Right now CP does 4-5 of the flts so that helps. There's also around 22 a day in between.

8/5.

How'd you guys fare on the "What If" from this second bid?

This bid is only for 14 LAX FO vacancies.
The next one will have CA vacancies.

8/5.

See you there!

I'll take a stab at it.

"Our performance sucks."

And until they provide relief from the language not permitting us from dropping the brake until ready to push, our D0 will continue to absolutely suck.

Is this seriously followed on the line at CP? At my previous carrier this was also a rule, but very few people followed it.

I wish we could use that as an excuse...

Fact is ramp and Mx delays are killing CP right now.

I literally just finished Captain OE. Of the 12 legs that I did, at least five of them could've left on time if I had dropped the brake when the door closed. This represents over three quarters of my late legs on OE.
As to whether or not it's followed, I obviously had to with a check airman in the right seat. As far as the line, I think some guys follow it because it's new and they think they have to, others follow it just to spite the company...which I can't blame them for. I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to do things quite by the book as it pertains to that, but we'll see.

CPZ is the most standard company I've ever seen. If the book says to drop the brake while using your left hand, everyone would do it and check airman would debrief it if you didn't.

Well they do have to, it's our policy.
You haven't had to have the phone call yet from the CPs about being late or why Delta reported to them that you blocked out but were pissed that you were still at the gate 10+ Mins later. The last one hasn't happened to me personally but I know it has to others.
